| Sumario: | This article, which is founded on theoretical-methodological presuppositions of french line Discourse Analysis (henceforward, DA), objectifies the reflection on imaginary projections realized all about feminine body. In order to do that, Discursive Sequences (henceforward, DS’s) were cut out from comments on a photomontage of digital influencer Rafaella Santos, run by Instagram profile “Choquei”. On that sight, the conception of Imaginary Formation (henceforward, ImF) was mobilized to found the discussion theoretically, for it is considerable that it is possible to think about the set of pictures that is made based on influencer’s body, in this specific case, and also on individuals who project it. Thus, it is understandable that the content selected to analysis becomes an eye-opening to the existence of a social imaginary built around the “perfect” body and that it sets the “pattern” slim as its representative. In this condition, individuals that do not “fit” in this template search for a way to belong, even if in order to do it, they need to resort to filters and photographic edition. Nevertheless, to manipulate the body so it gets closer to the “expected” may not be so well-liked so. In this context, it is possible to say, as the analysis will show, that body transits through between expectation and reality and demonstrates an acess road to comprehending the socio-historical and ideological period in which we live in and the impositions it exerts upon feminine body. |
